Author Bud Connell combines complex characters and stunning events, creating a story that resonates with everyday Americans. Peak Experience: A Novel is the story of one man’s determination to overcome his innermost fears in order to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

Motivated by recent behavior in Washington and the financial markets, and by what the author believes is general apathy of many Americans, Connell says, “The hidden conspiracy exposed in the novel could actually occur, and It is my hope that the novel will encourage readers to consider that they, as ordinary people, could be called upon to do extraordinary things.”

In Peak Experience, Connell introduces readers to Trip, an ordinary yet complex man who has just been employed by a charismatic firm. From the moment Trip is hired, danger, intrigue, romance and murder accompany him on a journey sweeping the major ports of the world, where he encounters double-dealers, passionate physical desires and life-threatening experiences. Entrapped by insidious evil but driven by the urgency of survival, Trip must conquer his crippling fears in time to stop malicious conspirators who are plotting against our very way of life.

The thriller novel, Peak Experience, will penetrate minds and hearts, as earth-shaking events, overwhelming and transforming, are as plausible as the lead story on today’s headline news. ...more
